Anyone start around 285 and 5'4



Recommended Posts

I know that we all lose differently. I'm just curious to see how much was lost by those around the same size as me. My highest was 299 currently 285. Pre op starts on June 16. Surgery June 23. I have found this forum very helpful during my journey.

I am 5'4 and my surgery weight was 284. I lost 55 lbs prior to surgery on my 6 month supervised diet and 2 week preop. Down just about 130 lbs in the year since surgery and have about 16 lbs to go to reach my goal.

I had my surgery, sleeve, on June 4th. At my highest I was 297lbs. I am 5'4" and at the one week liquid pre- op diet I was 283 lbs. I had my monthly cylce during my liquid pre-op diet and lost 7.1 lbs. Surgery day I weighed 275.8. Today I am down to 265.8 lbs. I would love for it to be faster but I am very happy with my progress. I am wearing clothes I haven't worn in a long time. I feel lighter. My goal is to be between 135 and 150. It will take me a long time but I know it took me a lifetime to put the weight on. My husband had the sleeve one year and four months ago and has lost about 150lbs. He is the greatest support and example to me that it can be done!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
